Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Gerald Everett could have used a road map to literally and figuratively find his way to the NFL.
Picking up the game of football as a high school senior in Decatur, Georgia, Everett hasn’t put it down since. And frankly, before he made his way to South Alabama University in 2015, it would have been understandable if he had done so.
After enrolling first at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, Everett then traveled to Kansas where he attended two separate community colleges, Butler and Hamilton. That was followed by transferring to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where in 2014; he stepped onto the field for the first time since high school.
